5 man

This player starts at the top of the key, and shadows where the 1 man is going while pressuring the opposing ball carrier. Once the ball is passed down to the corner this is the player that sets the baseline side of the trap.

The 5 man needs to be one of the quickest players on the court, as they have a lot of ground to cover if the ball gets swung around and they are needed to set the trap on the other Above is the basic alignment for any 1 – 3 – 1 side.

The Basic 1-2-2 Zone Defense

This is a very common defense, still used by many high school and college basketball teams. It is considered one of the hardest defenses to attack when it is executed properly. This is one of the truest of the zones defenses, with a When the ball is at the top of the key, the zone player ‘owning’ a certain section of the defense simply shifts with the ﬂow of the ball. defensive court.

2 and 3 man

These players cover the largest area, being forced to play outside the three-point line, all of the way back to the basket. These players are essential to the proper protection of the zone defense, as they help defender the perimeter, but then fall back to the basket to prevent any passes down the center lane.

The 2 and 3 man need to be very agile, but also big enough to defend down low when called upon. They will be called upon to rebound on many occasions, so crashing the boards should not be foreign to them.

4 and 5 man

These two men patrol the lower area of the At ﬁrst glance, you would think this zone defensive court. They do cover a great area, defense is soft in the middle.

This is a basic zone defense that every team should learn. It is a great switch from a man-to- man defense, especially when you are getting beaten by a team shooting from the perimeter.

Basic 2-3 Zone Defense

This is another trapping zone defense, but it almost has a man-to-man element to it. The players in this zone defense have to be able to anticipate where the pass is going to go, and react quickly. The key to this defense is to force a lob pass across the court, that can easily be After the ﬁrst pass (or dribble), the following will picked off by one of the off-side defenders. take place: Passing lanes should be cluttered with waving • The 1 man will follow the dribbler (or the and outstretched arms, as they would be in pass) to the outside of his or her own most zone defenses. zone.

The pressure they put on the opposition point guard will dictate which side the offense passes The Set Up or dribbles the ball – and ultimately where the trap gets set.

These players don’t need to be the biggest players on the court, but they do need to be quick, aggressive and be able to play a man-to- man style of defense. They will essentially watch every move made by the players that are at the top of the key.

The 1 and 2 men will be the ones who set the trap when the ball is pressured down low.

3 and 4 man

These two baseline defenders set the other half of the trap down low. They need to be quick and smart, as they have to be in the first ones to get to the player down on the low post.

The 1 and 2 man are going to be your point and shooting guard, and they are going to determine the side the ball is taken, and where the offense runs its plays. They are going to be the set up men to put the trap in place.

The one thing these players need to be aware of is the potential for the fast break. Once the ball is rebounded the two players can work a great breakout if they opportunity arises.

• The 2 man shadows what the 1 man does, until the trap is set. Then they retreat back to the middle of the foul line circle. Both players are there to either wait for the fast break, or to intercept passes back out to the perimeter.

• The 3 man picks up where the 1 man leaves off, and then follows the pass or dribble down to the corner. Once the pass is made to the low post, the 3 man sets one half of the trap. If the ball is swung out to the corner again, the 3 man follows the pass.

• The 5 man protects the hoop, and when the ball gets down to the low post, he or she takes the baseline away and waits for the 3 man to set the top side of the trap.

This can be a very effective defense against a team that works the ball a lot to the low post. Once you show them you are going to trap, it might force them into longer-range shots.

The defense works the following way: (pass indicated by a dotted line)

1 and 2 man

If you have two tenacious defensive guards, this might be the defense for you. Working together, these two players are responsible for protecting the perimeter from long distance shots. If they are caught out too far without help from the 5 man, they can make the defense vulnerable to the center lane pass.

These players need to be quick in order to cover the large area around half of the perimeter. They also need to be able to make the burst long distance for the fast break.
